Hello,
A friend of mine is doing some research on the Bataks and their weapons and is looking for any relevant literature. So I would appreciate any suggestions pertaining this subject.
He mentioned an article he is looking for: "Fra I Batacchi Indipendenti. Viaggio di Elio Modigliani" but I may have misspelled it.
Also any information/references on the Piso Podang will be most welcomed.
Regards,
Marius

Hello Marius,
He mentioned an article he is looking for: "Fra I Batacchi Indipendenti. Viaggio di Elio Modigliani" but I may have misspelled it.
Another good early work; I'd guess that Albert and Arjan have a copy.
Also any information/references on the Piso Podang will be most welcomed.
Not all of these are Batak - there are probably quite a few Malay and coastal Sumatran examples.
You should get in contact with Erik N. who has studied this sword type.
Regards,
Kai

Here is a link to the publication of Elio Modigliani.
It is the complete publication, including the plates.
On plate XXII you will find several types of weapons.

In my bibliography - T.D. Rogers, An annotated bibliography of Indonesian, Filipino & Malay edged weapons (C. Zwartenkot Art Books - Leiden, 2015) there are scores of references to the Bataks and their weapons.
